Stephany Ruckdeschel, 54, was accused in an indictment unsealed Friday of second-degree attempted murder, second-degree assault, and criminal sale of a controlled substance. She is now jailed.

Prosecutors allege that Ruckdeschel tried to kill a juvenile in a Wetmore Park home on Oct. 12. No more information about the youth was released Friday, except that the juvenile is younger than 17 years old.

Ruckdeschel is expected to return to court next week for a bail hearing, according to Senior Assistant District Attorney Amanda Balling. Balling praised police, firefighters and emergency responders "whose swift and skilled response saved a child’s life."
